This is a selection of songs which have been played on my favourite radio station between spring 2003 and spring 2005. And it is music of a special period of my life: The second half of my studies in Potsdam. It was a very excting time full of parties, concerts, movies, old friends, new friends, love, music, internet, lectures, papers prsentations, flatmates...

Track Description:
In 2003 my all-time-best-friend moved to Potsdam. It was so great to have her around me after we had seen only about once in a year the last 10 years before. Now I'm living somewhere else again and miss her much. This song is about best friends, too and I remember we once had a lot of fun singing songs by that band (and I am almost never singing in front of anyone else).

Track Description:
Tis song reminds me on washing the dishes. Really, don't know why, maybe I spent so much time with it while listening to the radio. You know, you don't feel like doing that but if you don't, your flatmate would get really mad. Sometimes I really miss that time sharing a flat with other students but now at least I can do the dishes whenever I want to do it.

Track Description:
I don't like that song anymore. The time it was on radio I had a strange relationship with a boy and the lyrics of this song don't fit absolutely but in some special way to it. And another reason it reminds me to this is because he absolutely loved her music.

Track Description:
Radio Eins played this song much earlier that other radio stations. When I first listened to it, I moved to my first own apartment and wrote my thesis. It was alternately a time of stress (by university) and quiet (being alone without anybody else dusturbing me). This song was great to rest and relax.

Track Description:
Another song which was used on tv spot. And I remember the week "Get Born" was "Album of the week". Not only the music was great at this radio station but also the comments and games.

Track Description:
Actually I knew REM before but that time this song gets quite often in my life. It was also the time of casting shows on tv. One of those "popstars"-bands did a cover version and so the original songs was played in radio as well. I listened to another cover version by Nathan Larson and Nina Person in the same time.

Track Description:
I knew St. Etienne but I was quite surprised when I got to hear this song on the radio. Especially since the presenter anounced a song by Air. I just remember that day because I introduced a friend to Saint Etienne after that radio mistake.

Track Description:
No mix without The Cardigans! I had been a huge fan of them, especially in 2003. Live concerts, spend a lot of time on their internet forum, got to know some other fans... It was a nice time to remember.

Track Description:
I never heard the name of the band when I put the radio on but I always wanted to have more songs by this band. Well, my best friend gave me the album some months later without knowing about that fact.

Track Description:
Nice videos by The White Stripes. That time there were some nice music shows on tv but then first they shut down the best music channel. My favourite show was first broadcasted on another channel after that but later they discontinued it as there, too. Since then I don't watch music tv anymore because I can't stand all that hip hop, black music etc.

Track Description:
Another german band, better than the others I mentioned before. "Wir sind Helden" had been a connection between indie-music fans and mainstream-radio listeneners, so one of less songs I could enjoy together with my friends from school which I still met quite often.

Track Description:
And finally another band which I did never expected to hear on the radio. I listened to many unknown bands and downloaded a lot of stuff that time. I still love to discover bands nobody knows.

Despite the fact that TEAM ROBOT was crushed like a Pabst can at a frat party by the might claws of TEAM MONSTER, you are still deserving of a badge... Loser.

I know about six of these, but that includes one of my all time faves, (The White Stripes track) I would like to hear some of the German bands if you get around to sendspacing this. It's great looking back on happy times via the music that provided the soundtrack.
